Hi everyone! I’m new here but I’m very concerned about my celosia plant. I just found these bugs on it. What are they and how do I get rid of them? Thanks in advance for your help!

These look like carpet beetles, not harmful to plants, they just like pollen and nectar like bees.

Carpet beetles won’t do damage to your plants. They will do damage to a lot of your belongings inside your house.

If the plant is outside and stays outside all year round, you should be fine.

If you bring that plant inside at any point of the year, make sure you don’t bring the carpet bugs inside. They are a pain to get rid of and can do so much damage to your home.
